Myocontrol in aging.

PLoS ONE, 2007
Myoelectric (EMG) signals are used in assistive technology for prostheses, computer and domestic control. An experimental study previously conducted with young participants was replicated with elderly persons in order to assess the effect of age on the ...

Proprioceptive Augmentation With Illusory Kinaesthetic Sensation in Stroke Patients Improves Movement Quality in an Active Upper Limb Reach-and-Point Task

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021
Stroke patients often have difficulty completing motor tasks even after substantive rehabilitation. Poor recovery of motor function can often be linked to stroke-induced damage to motor pathways.

Modeling Mechanical Dispersion by Using the Method of Advective Transport Phenomena, a First Step

Groundwater, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 202-209, March/April 2026.
A new theory for mechanical dispersion describes the spreading of water particles generated by advective flow at sub‐model scale. A representative parameter for modeling, the advective volume shift, is calculated from the distance traveled in the calculation step and stochastic parameters describing the aquifer heterogeneity only and replaces the ...

Different types of exercise and myocardial angiogenesis regulation: A scoping review of cardiac‐specific evidence in animal models

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, March 2026.
Abstract Exercise promotes myocardial angiogenesis, yet molecular responses vary by modality, and cardiac‐specific evidence in healthy models remains fragmented. This study aimed to map biomolecular regulators of myocardial/coronary angiogenesis across exercise types in healthy animal models. PRISMA‐ScR scoping review.

Elastic Fast Marching Learning from Demonstration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This article presents Elastic Fast Marching Learning (EFML), a novel approach for learning from demonstration that combines velocity‐based planning with elastic optimization. EFML enables smooth, precise, and adaptable robot trajectories in both position and orientation spaces.

Information-theoretic Sensorimotor Foundations of Fitts' Law [PDF]

Extended Abstracts of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2019
We propose a novel, biologically plausible cost/fitness function for sensorimotor control, formalized with the information-theoretic principle of empowerment, a task-independent universal utility. Empowerment captures uncertainty in the perception-action loop of different nature (e.g. noise, delays, etc.) in a single quantity.

Heat Therapy: Targeting Health, Disease, and Disability

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2026.
The predominance of evidence suggests heat therapy has an impact on all aspects of health and performance, but the drivers of that improvement, the extent to which they are improved, and the specific populations in which improvements manifest are far from completely understood.

Manual Dexterity Abilities and Dual Tasking in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder and Typically Developing Children

Journal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 146-160, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Poor manual skills in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) may be dependent on task complexity and due to difficulties in the automatization phase of the motor learning process. Increased task demands and the dual‐task paradigm can be used to test these hypotheses.

Global Changes in Lepidopteran Phylogenetic Diversity Across Space and Time

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Amidst increasing reports of insect declines, it is ever more important to understand spatial and temporal insect diversity patterns and processes. In this study, we repurposed the wealth of sequence data initially used for species identification, to detect global changes in the phylogenetic diversity (PD) of Lepidopteran communities over recent ...

Issues Related to HCI Application of Fitts's Law [PDF]

Human–Computer Interaction, 2013
Taking Fitts's law as a premise—that is, movement time is a linear function of an appropriate index of difficulty—we explore three issues related to the collection and reporting of these data from the perspective of application within human–computer interaction. The central question involved two design choices.
